Hi, thanks for posting your concern in the HCM. Coccydynia may occur due to abrupt ( fall on coccyx) or nonabrupt (prologed sitting) trauma. Degenerative changes in the sacrococcygeal or intracoccygeal junction may also cause coccyx pain. Rarely hyperuricemia may present with this. A lateral view Xray of the coccyx both sitting and standing position should be done. Haemorrhoids, lumbar degenerative disc disease, lumbar facet arthropathy, piriformis syndrome should be ruled out.Physiotherapy, surgery or sympathetic nerve block may be needed in case of coccyx pathology. My recommendation is to visit your local doctor for further evaluation and treatment. For any further questions please write back to us. Regards. Dr. Kaushik
